===Judicial branch===
{{main article|Judiciary of South Korea}}
The South Korean judiciary is independent of the other two branches of government, and is composed of two different [[Supreme court#South Korea|highest courts]]. Inferior ordinary courts are under the Supreme Court, whose justices are appointed by the president of South Korea with the consent of the National Assembly. In addition, the Constitutional Court oversees questions of constitutionality, as single and the only court whose justices are appointed by the president of South Korea by equal portion of nomination from the president, the National Assembly, and the Supreme Court Chief justice. South Korea has not accepted compulsory [[International Court of Justice|ICJ]] jurisdiction.
